Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
